The Democratic Action Party – Kenya (DAP-K), which is affiliated with Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, has denied claims that it will join Raila and Uhuru Kenyatta’s Azimio la Umoja Movement ahead of the August poll.
Speaking at the party headquarters (Chui House) during the reception of defectors from other bigwig outfits (Ford Kenya and Amani National Congress), DAP-K secretary general Eseli Simiyu, who also serves as Tongaren MP, insisted that the DAP-K has not officially joined the Azimio la Umoja Movement through political deals and pacts, particularly on joint nominations.
The DAP-K nominations, on the other hand, will not be highly reliant on the amount of money channeled to the party, according to CS Eugene Wamalwa. “We want this celebration to be unique, and you can be confident that nominations will not be based only on how much money you bring. No one will take your ticket because you did not pay a certain amount of money “He confirmed.

Azimio’s ambitions of forming a joint nomination consensus ahead of the next general election have been dashed by the DAP-K statement.
The DAP-K special committee, led by former Cabinet Minister Noah Wekesa and Lugari MP Ayub Savula (DAP-K Deputy Party Leader), has created the groundwork for Azimio’s formal merger with other parties (Jubilee and ODM)
